    Abstract: A computing device and method for removing noise associated with an excitation signal and its odd harmonics. A computing system for processing electromagnetic (EM) signals includes an interface that receives raw data indicative of a time rate of change of a magnetic field as recorded with a receiver coil while airborne, wherein the magnetic field includes a primary source excitation; and a processor connected to the interface. The processor is configured to calculate a rotation of the receiver coil relative to a desired orientation; derotate the raw EM data based on the rotation of the receiver coil relative to the desired orientation and on the primary source excitation, to obtain derotated EM data; and generate an image of a surveyed subsurface based on the derotated EM data.
